Pavelec allowed four goals on 27 shots in the Jets 4-3 loss to the Red Wings on Thursday. Despite losing his last four starts and Michael Hutchinson allowing just three goals in his last three, the Jets will turn to Pav again today vs. St. Louis.

Neuvirth has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury but with Nathan Lieuwen heading back to the AHL it suggests that Neuvirth should be good to go for Wednesda vs. the Jets.

Lieuwen served as Jhonas Enroth’s backup while Michal Neuvirth was sidelined with a lower-body injury. With Neuvirth healthy Lieuwen heads back to Rochester.

Burrows will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury. Consider him day-to-day.

Miller surrendered four goals on 32 shots in the 5-4 win over the Oilers on Wednesday. Miller is in the thick of his roughest stretch of this young season.

Allen allowed four goals on 30 shots in the Blues’ 4-1 loss to Montreal on Thursday. The loss snapped Allen’s four-game winning streak, but he should be for great spot-start this afternoon in Winnipeg. Allen is 2-1-0 with a 1.67 GAA and .938 SV% on the road.

Raanta was scheduled to start his first game in nearly one month, but did not end up starting because he was "not feeling well". Crawford has gone 5-4-0 with a 2.11 GAA and .925 SV% in the month of November. If you accidentally left him in your lineup, you’re lucky because he draws a beauty of a matchup vs. the Oilers.

Raanta, who was scheduled to start his first game in nearly a month, did not start Saturday in Edmonton because he was "not feeling well". Corey Crawford draws the start in Raanta's place.

Ward gave up three goals on 39 shots in a loss to the Kings on Thursday. He has lost three of his last four with a 2.81 GAA and .913 SV%. Despite a rough stretch, Ward has been extremely consistent over the last month. He draws a strong matchup tonight vs. a banged up Avalanche team still struggling to score goals.

Lehtonen stopped 26 of 27 shots in the Stars 3-1 win over the Coyotes on Thursday. The win snapped a three game losing streak for Lehtonen, who is 3-5-0 with a 3.05 GAA and .903 SV% in November.

Quick gave up two goals on 27 shots in the Kings’ 3-2 victory over the Hurricanes on Thursday. He has won three in a row with a 1.98 GAA and .932 SV%. He is a must-start in all formats whenever he gets the call, tonight he faces an under performing Stars team.

Rinne allowed two goals on 31 shots in the Predators 9-2 destruction of the Maple Leafs on Tuesday. Rinne has been ridiculous in November—posting a 6-1-0 record, 1.86 GAA and .933 SV%. He was given Thursday off so its a near certainty that he will face the Panthers tonight. Rinne is a must-start.

Luongo allowed two goals on 30 shots in the Panthers shootout win over the Sharks on Thursday. It was a nice bounce-back after Bobby Lu had allowed seven combined goals in his previous two starts (both losses). Tonight, he will face the red-hot Pekka Rinne and the Predators.

Bernier is not on the ice for the Maple Leafs morning skate, which suggests he will start tonight vs. Detroit. He had a nice bounce-back game on Thursday, stopping 26 of 28 shots in a 5-2 win over the Lightning. It has been a crazy up-and-down first quarter of the season for Bernier, but he was great in his first outing vs. the Wings—he stopped 31 of 32 shots in a 1-0 OT loss.
